  1. Whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice and cumin, ¼ tsp salt and set aside.
  2. Set a barbecue to medium-high heat. In a small bowl whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, chili powder, ½ tsp salt and pepper. Brush the cobs of corn with this olive oil mixture. Grill the cobs of corn for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly charred. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  3. Once the cobs have cooled enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs and add to a large serving bowl along with baby tomatoes, peach or nectarine slices, freshly torn basil leaves and feta cheese. Drizzle with the olive oil-lemon-cumin mixture and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as desired.
